C- F C- F

Fate is mighty cruel
FWhere (133211@1)true love is concerned
C-7
It seems you give out more
/
Than you ever have returned
FLately (133211@1)I have tried
C-7
To make it on my own
FAnother (133211@1)nite has passed
|D GLooks (320003@1)like I^?m bound to be alone
|C-7
Bound to be alone
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there^?s nothin^? else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it^?s back on you
|A- F (133211@1) |C |
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
G (320003@1) |C |
I only wish I knew why you won^?t comfort me
F (133211@1) GI (320003@1)thot that I could count on you
|A- CTo (x32010@1)hear me cryin^? out
|F DI (xx0232@1)guess that^?s one comfort
|2/4 G (320003@1) Bb (x1333x@1)|C- |F |C- |F |
I will learn to do without
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
so you are not the first and, lord
You sure won^?t be the last
The thing about the situation
C- FThat (133211@1)makes me feel so sad
C- FI (133211@1)could^?ve been the best old friend
|D G (320003@1) C- F|C- (133211@1)/ |
That you have ever had
I could^?ve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
